Note the new location for this free event. The North Myrtle Beach venue that hosted the Christmas Cantata in the past could not do so this year due to their concerns about COVID-19. All other venues large enough to accommodate this event are unavailable this year due to holding events of their own. Many, many thanks to Living Water Baptist Church for welcoming this very popular event!
